Mucormycosis is a rare complication of immunosuppression. Most of the reported cases have been rhinocerebral or disseminated. Isolated renal involvement is extremely rare and until now less than 30 patients have been reported in the English literature. Isolated renal mucormycosis with renal artery rupture in a liver transplant patient has not been reported so far. Herein we report an extremely rare case of isolated renal mucormycosis in a liver transplant patient who was successfully treated with nephrectomy.
毛霉菌病是免疫抑制的一种罕见并发症。大多数报告病例为鼻脑型或播散型。孤立性肾脏受累极为罕见，迄今为止英文文献中报道的患者不足30例。肝移植患者发生孤立性肾脏毛霉菌病伴肾动脉破裂的情况迄今尚未见报道。在此，我们报告一例肝移植患者发生的极为罕见的孤立性肾脏毛霉菌病，该患者经肾切除术成功治愈。
